I seriously can’t get my head around the cost of medication in the U.S. Look at the price comparison (I’ve added to this table) for what the NHS (or a private patient in The U.K.) would pay versus what US citizens pay X3 to X100 more?!???? For the same drug?!? 1/2

Remember, clocks go back tonight. If you're a Tory, back to 1953. If you're Reform, back to 1932. If you're Jacob Rees-Mogg, back to 1741. And if you're Nigel Farage, you just demand that 'Clocks Should Go Back Where They Came From."

Just a message to everyone out there, the NHS is underfunded, the French spend 30% more per person, the Germans nearly 50% more per person. The NHS is one of the most poorly funded Health Services in Europe. And it shows. #bbcqt
